Event Details

Join Dreaming Out Loud (DOL) for a "September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance" on Friday, September 11th, 2015 from 9am-1pm at our Organic Garden. Located at Blind Whino (700 Delaware Avenue SW).

In 2009, Congress designated September 11th as a National Day of Service and Remembrance under bipartisan federal law, and DOL's helping to support this effort through a day of service at our garden space. We invite the Southwest community, and people from across the City, to join us in reflection, remembrance, and action in building a stronger community.

This day of service also helps pay it forward, as we build Dreaming Out Loud Organic Garden, one of the City’s most unique centers of learning and community impact in urban agriculture:

Garden and community clean up activities.

Distributing wood chips across the garden space.

Planting fall crops for the garden space.

Directions from Metro: Blind Whino @ 700 Delaware Avenue SW. From the Waterfront Metro (green line): 1. Walk east on M Street SW towards 3rd Street SW, 2. Turn left on Delaware Avenue SW (you will the Police Department on the corner and Friendship Baptist Church on the right side, as I Street crosses Delaware). 3. Stay on Delaware Avenue until you get to a cul-de-sac where you will see the beautifully painted building.
